Then on Saturday 17th December, the group, along with Santa, will do a toy delivery to the Children’s Ward in Carmarthen departing from London Road, Pembroke Dock at 11am.
The 3 Amigos Motorcycle Group said: “All of us have family or know someone whose children have needed care and treatment at Cilgerran Ward. We know the money donated goes towards helping make patients and families on the ward have a better experience.
“It’s such a good feeling seeing how much joy the toy run brings to all the people who come out to support us. Helping Santa visit and handing out presents to the children in hospital at Christmas will create such a worthwhile feeling.”
Katie Hancock, fundraising officer, said: “Once again the 3 Amigos Motorcycle Group is going above and beyond to support children’s services in Hywel Dda University Health Board.
“Their famous toy run is always a huge success and brings Christmas cheer to many children supported across the Hywel Dda region. We can’t thank them enough for their time, effort and dedication to fundraising. If you can, please support the 3 Amigos this Christmas.”
